What if NaMo pulls it off ???

What if NaMo pulls it off ??

Really! What if NaMo does pull it off? NaMo phobia/ mania has
gripped India big time. It’s almost as if there is no other topic and not a single individual worth discussing or
dissecting left in this vast country of ours.With even TIME magazine jumping on
the bandwagon and all but declaring Modi the next prime minister of India in a
syrupy cover story, Modi’s juggernaut seems unstoppable. Each and every
utterance of Gujarat’s Chief Minister goes instantly under a scanner as we look
for hidden meanings, taunts, rants, insults, double entendres. We are being
entirely ridiculous, and it’s about time we gave ourselves - and him -
a break from this nonsense. Take the case of the idiotic ‘Puppy’
reference.It became a national issue when it was nothing more than careless
linguistic usage. We jumped down his throat and gave that particular quote far
more importance than it warranted. At best, it was a dumb analogy. At worst, a
gauche remark. But that’s not how it was played. I am not a NaMo supporter… if
anything I have been a consistent critic. But I have been observing with some
degree of alarm that it is NaMo’s worst critics who have actually been doing
the guy a favour by inadvertently creating a superhero out of him. Had
virulently anti-Modi commentators ignored the ‘puppy’ incident, NaMo would not
have dominated news channels and hogged as many headlines at a time when there
were several other national issues at stake. That’s the thing about creating a
bogeyman – at some point, the bogeyman comes back to bite.

Just a few months ago, nobody could have
imagined that drawing room conversations across India would be dominated by a
man called Narendra Modi. And look where he has reached purely in terms of name
recognition and recall. How has this happened? And why? What has Modi done in
this short period of time to get to this hallowed position? Is there a single milestone
that can be highlighted?An exceptional feat? Some earth shaking development?
Nope. If anything, he has gone from one gaffe to another ( rushing to
Uttarakhand to rescue Gujarati pilgrims, being the most embarrassing act of
derring do). And yet, he is the one a majority of people believe will make it
as the next Prime Minister. Shocking as this sounds, it is no longer in the
realm of mere speculation, or even blatant propaganda put out by his many
supporters. It is time to concede only
person who can beat Narendra Modi today, is Narendra Modi himself.

Confidence is one thing. Over confidence,
something else. Leaders who don’t understand the difference clearly don’t
understand good leadership. Narendra Modi has been talking way too much. He
sticks both his feet in his mouth each
time he opens it. Supporters lap up each faux pas and rush to defend their
leader. Which is fine.That’s what supporters are there for. Modi has the best
media management machinery in place, going by the record number of vicious trolls on the loose. So, why on earth is he
making so many ridiculous statements in the first place? Either he knows
something about the electorate that experts don’t. Or, he is just being
himself. There is the third explanation and that may just be the right one –
semantics. Modi does fine when he sticks to Gujarati, his mother tongue. It is
when he ambitiously ventures into making bhashans, or gives interviews in Hinglish,
that his carefully constructed image goes for a toss. Let’s face it, his Hindi
sucks. And frankly, he doesn’t need to speak English – in today’s times,
regional languages work best. And this
is the key message his overzealous minders should pass on to their leader –
speak Gujju, think Gujju, act Gujju.That’s the Modi brand. That’s Modi’s USP. A
great orator sticks to the one language he has mastery over in order to make
the maximum impact.

As the Modi campaign picks up momentum,
there is going to be far greater scrutiny and debate each time he addresses a
rally. The smart thing for his opponents to do is ignore him. His only real rival is a phantom. India is
still waiting for the official announcement on Rahul Gandhi ( which, of course,
won’t be made). Rahul Baba’s stony silence
and frequent disappearing acts hardly help matters. Nobody seems to know what
the hell Rahul stands for or if he is even interested in the top job. Since
there are no other obvious candidates in the picture right now, it’s a solo run
for Modi. A dream run. In Bollywood parlance, it’s like a hero suddenly
discovering his movie is the only one to release during Eid or Diwali. When a
theatre actor presents a one man show, it is assumed he is either blindingly
brilliant or depressingly delusional. It’s always the audience that has the
last word.Right now, Modi is that actor, and India, his stage.It’s advantage
Modi. Sure,he’s talking big– that’s his
prerogative. But it’s those bechara Congresswallas routinely falling for the bait and hitting
back in posh English, who should instantly back off! Modi provokes them – and
they obediently react ( or rather, over react). He describes himself in
grandiose terms, and everybody rushes to pull him down. This is plain silly.
History has thrown up worse bigots, megalomaniacs, show offs and braggarts.
History has also discarded them with ease. NaMo is on a roll right now. Sooner
or later he is going to miss a step, trip and shoot himself in the foot. The
smart thing for his opponents to do is really do nothing at all, but watch from
the side lines. And wait for NaMo to self -destruct. It’s entirely possible.

Even Congress supporters (like me) do not want Rahul to be PM candidate. It is my view that Congress will not announce anyone and if they are in a position to form a government, they will put forward someone like Manmohan Singh (P Chidambaram or Kapil Sibal) There are more deserving candidates out there than Rahul in the Congress

Caught between the devil and the deep blue sea. Can't we have more names in the PM race? I don't care for Modi and Rahul Gandhi. First one is pompous goat and another is lost kid. We deserve someone better.

1. The British top political honchos met NaMo ... trotting out some silly excuse.

2. The EU did the same.

3. Some group from the US of A visited NaMo. A lot of reports said NaMo had paid for the visit. But some of those who came to India to meet NaMo were genuine medium level decision makers.

4. I believe representatives from Australasia have already extended an olive branch.

5. The Congress is actually playing into NaMo's hands by depicting him as a Hindu hardliner. The more the Congress does this sort of thing, the more Hindus would end up voting for NaMo.

6. Many Muslims have been quoted as saying from Gujarat in politically equidistant channels that they have decided to 'move on' from the riots of over a decade ago.

7. Straw polls have shown that NaMo is some four times more popular than Rahul Gandhi whose looks betray his immaturity. Rahul seems like a playboy in search of a female version of Mad Hatter in the realm full of money crazy, hungry gangs of of sycophants in the political Blunderland called India.

8. Gujarat has no power-cuts. Very little bribery. Roads are good. No reports of molestation of women. Most of the channels that accept money from UPA constituents attempt to drill rapes, acid flings and murders of little girls in many states ... many of them non-Congress states. But, Gujarat is conspicuous by its absence.

9. Effectively, by their machinations, the smart Alec idiots in the UPA have dealt themselves five aces in a single deck of cards and revealed their own foul play and effectively removed all those who could snag Modi's progress from within - example - Nitish.

10. Effectively, due to all this, your observations, should be coming through with a error quotient of .5%. Perhaps, in your next public appearance you could joke that NaMo could send a cheque to the Congress chaps ... for being good publicity kids!

Any intellectual with National interests in mind will not search for possible reasons to derail Modi's march. The DEEP SHIT congress is in and its rotten leadership can only take this country backward.

Modi should rule this country for next 5 years and should be closely monitored. If he deviates or tries to become a dictator - no time should be wasted to beat the shit out of him. That's at the national level.

At Delhi state level - Arwind Kejriwal deserves the chance to setup a benchmark to move this country forward. Same treatment should be given to him also if he falters.

If the intellectuals and masses can't differentiate the national interests and their personal ego's are more important then just wait for China's prediction to become a reality that country like India should be broken into 36 countries.

Wake up million and millions of IDIOTS who can't think beyond their self interests.

"What if NaMo pulls it off???" What if indeed he does? Now, that is a frightening prospect! Shobha madame will have to do a faster than Usain Bolt runner up north, to Jinnha's Land Of The Pure, well away from the Macho infidel Modi, and seek refuge in Jihdiland and will be entertaining her luscious Mills and Boonish, oops,sorry,- too banal- Sylvia Dayish erotica to the demented Paki jihadis. Now that is blasphemously sadist and cruel !

profound apologies for an error in the last sentence of my previous comment. It should read, Now that is blasphemously sadistic and not "sadist". Dementia in young age is a horrible affliction as even that other deluded aspirant to the PM chair, the one from the badlands of UP is painfully discovering!
